help students pay for their education, with about 500 students receiving scholarships
annually through its work.

“All of us on the Boniface Hiers team continue to be impressed with the new career
opportunities the college is giving to its students,” said A.J. Hiers, the company’s
President and CEO.

“That helps our entire community as well and we’re proud to support the college through
the scholarship dollars that our donation provides to the Foundation.”

College President Dr. Jim Richey called the donation “very generous and something
that is helping students improve their lives in important ways.”

“We’re very grateful to Boniface Hiers Automotive Group for everything they’re doing
to help our students succeed,” said Richey. “It’s a testament to their deep involvement
in our community.”

Boniface Hiers Automotive Group owns and operates five auto dealerships in Brevard
County, providing sales and service for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mazda and Kia cars
and trucks as well as Honda motorcycles and ATVs.

The EFSC Foundation was established in 1971. It has awarded more than $2.5 million
in scholarships in recent years with every dollar helping the students it serves.
